Surgery Fund For Mark Brewster

Donation protected

Please help my friend in a time of need. Mark grew up in Shickshinny PA and had type 1 diabetic since age 6. He has worked all his life in retail management and sales.  He also played guitar in Point 08 and The Curse of Sorrow for the past 15 years. Then In a matter of 3 years he got divorced, lost his grandfather, his father passed away 6 months later. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, during this time He was also taking care of his sick mother ... The stress from all of this caused him to have a massive stroke October 2nd of 2015 -Mark has had 4 brain surgeries since the stroke and also has developed congestive heart failure as result of pneumonia developed while in the hospital. When they originally got him to the hospital and incubate him. His vocal chords were damaged so badly from the procedure. He still hasn't been able to get the trach removed because he can't breathe properly... After having 1 operation to try and remove the trach failed in october - his doctor is sending him to the 1 doctor in the U.S. that has developed a new procedure which will be able to fix his problem.  So he doesn't have to live with the trach for the rest of his life. Problem being he doesn't accept private insurance which he is paying $400 a month for. The cost of this procedure is $32,000 plus $3,000 to stay in Boston for 10 days so the doctor can monitor him. This doesnt even cover the operating room,anesthesia hospital fees. Anything donated is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support.
